Excellent, thanks for that find. What a pity none of these (and the VC-10) were preserved.

There's a VC-10 at Duxford along with the BEA Trident 2E G-AVFB which was shot up by the Turkish Air Force at Nicosia Airport in 1974 and which was later repaired by BA engineers and flown back to England. Lots more there too.

Cold War Jets collection at Bruntingthorpe also have a VC-10 in their collection-the intention was to keep it in taxiable condition.(will check)Their website needs updating,but I believe they actually have two VC-10`s.

ZD241 is in taxiable condition,ZA147 future unclear,but is still at Bruntingthorpe I believe.

Found this video on you tube-note the car alarm`s wailing as the aircraft spools up the engines (only two running I think)-tee hee!
